Brass Hunting

[gunboat]

I usually leave the brass that the coyotes have chewed -- It is usually too difficult to get it into the chamber to fire form it.

ANY brass on the ground, you should pick up. If it's berdan or crap, it can still be recycled. If you shoot enough and load enough, scrap brass adds up quick.

Also your cleaning up the spot your shooting at.

If you are like me, you may eventually progress to casting and swaging... more money, more time, more work, more people looking at you funny..

I hit the jackpot on Monday while shooting at an outdoor range. There was brass that had been piled up from the weekend and from the shooting that day. During the last session of the day I just swept everything into a pile and since I was one of two people left it was all mine. Even better was that I got to sort through the brass bucket too for brass I wanted.

My one question is: does anyone bother to pick up their brass after shooting a stage during competition? Or is there just too much going on to even bother to look like an idiot searching the ground for your brass. I figured that it is not worth the effort but I just wanted to ask anyways.
